Migraine:
Migraine may occur with symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, or sensitivity to light and sound. It is a type of headache. In most people, a throbbing pain is felt only on one side of the head.
Stress at work or home can cause migraines. Bright or flashing lights can induce migraines, as can loud sounds. Strong smells such as perfume, paint thinner and others — trigger migraines in some people.
Symptoms:
Symptoms of a migraine attack may include heightened sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, auras (loss of vision in one eye or tunnel vision), difficulty of speech and intense pain predominating on one side of the head. One theory of the cause of migraine is a central nervous system (CNS) disorder.
The headache portion of an attack can last from four hours to three days. An entire migraine attack including prodrome, aura, headache and postdrome may last anywhere from a bit more than one day to slightly more than a week at its very longest, though this is not typical.
Generally, a lack of sleep is known to trigger headaches and migraines in some people.
Migraines, which often begin in childhood, adolescence or early adulthood, can progress through four stages:
prodrome, aura, attack and post-drome. Not everyone who has migraines goes through all stages.
Stress as a trigger for migraine attackes is present in nearly 70% of individuals. High levels of stress are reported in migraine patients, particularly in those suffering from chronic daily migraine
Most attacks slowly fade away, but some stop suddenly after the person with migraine is sick, or cries a lot. Sleep seems to help many people, even an hour or two can be enough to end an attack. Many children find that sleeping for just a few minutes can stop their attack.
According to Ayurveda, migraine (Ardhavabhedhaka) is a concern that crops up due to an imbalance in the Dosha levels. This shift in the Dosha levels can cause poor eye health, disturbed sleep cycles, inability to concentrate and focus, and loss of productivity.
To manage this concern, Ayurveda takes a more comprehensive approach, covering the symptoms and root cause(s).
